Last season, this fixture was the talk of the town as Lille finished second just behind PSG. But les Dogues could use some of the magic from that team as they have failed to reach similar heights this season with Nicolas Pépé's goals being truly missed. They drew 0-0 with newly promoted Metz before the international break to extend their rather unwanted streak of games, with just the one win in nine matches. Lille were rather unlucky here, though, as they dominated the match with five shots on target and two 'Big Chances' created.
Crystal Palace have won three consecutive league meetings with Bournemouth for the first time since April 1988. Coming in the 12th minute, Luka Milivojevic's opener was the first goal Crystal Palace have scored in the opening 20 minutes of any Premier League match this season. Both of Jordan Ayew's last two Premier League goals have been scored in the first half; only one of his first 23 strikes in the competition had been in the opening 45 minutes before this.
Augsburg will be in the field with the away team Paderborn and this game we have predicted it and under of 3.5 total goals as looking at this two teams last meetings they are not used of scoring an over of 3.5 total goals and so this makes us to be very sure with this prediction on this game
We’re going to try to be in the market to see options that can strengthen the team,” Arteta said. My obligation is to give my opinion and see if there are things we can improve. Obviously we have some bad injuries, like Calum a few days ago, and that’s going to change our plans at the back but the reality at the moment is that we are not going to be able to do much.
Derby between champion of the previous season, and Cup title holder. This could be one tough matchup, on small number of goal chances and goals scored. Rivals are not ready for the competition, since league just begun, without any preparation period. That would affect the offensive play and attacking players the most. Defense could be played without a lot of compacting the line, but if teams want to score goals, they can not just go instant into the competition.
He has been out now for so long now, it's a challenge to get back into shape. Pogba's controversial agent Mino Raiola says he has spoken to Juventus about the midfielder returning to Turin in the summer, four years after his departure for United in a then-record £90m deal. Asked whether he could state "categorically" that Pogba will play for United again, Solskjaer avoided giving a straight answer.

Newcastle United v Burnley *Newcastle have not lost at home to Burnley since April 1976, winning three and drawing three since. Newcastle have lost their last two league matches to slip to 14th while Burnley are 10th with four wins from their last five games.

Players in Austria are only permitted to train in small groups under social distancing regulations, before full training begins on Friday. Salzburg's commercial director Stephan Reiter said the club was "shocked and stunned". In these pictures, [you can] see that neither small-group training, nor compliance with minimum distances, nor the specified two-man ban was taken into account," he added. These pictures clearly document that LASK - despite the strict prohibition by the responsible ministries - are training with full physical contact.
The away team have won 4 matches in a row they are not doing much wrong with how they play their football, they could come away with another win in this match because they have showed they can score a lot of goals recently. But have also showed they can stop teams from scoring, they have been able to keep a lot of clean sheets in recent games of theirs. The thing with keeping clean sheets makes them harder to beat with the draw no bet because no one has beat them outright in 4 matches making them look strong
This fixture features No. 12 vs No. 3 in the league, Shanghai Shenhua vs Beijing Guoan. The hosts coming from a 1 - 0 away loss to Chongqing Lifan (no. 4 in the league) and their last home game a 2 - 1 win over Dalian Yifang. The visitors coming from a 3 - 1 home win over Tianjin Teda (No. 6 in the league) and their last away game a 0 - 3 win over Tianjin Tianhai. The visitors should win this one but they played a lower table team than the hosts scoring multiple goals and conceding one goal to win the match then won their last away game to a team below the host scoring multiple goals facing a team coming from playing a team above themselves and not scoring one goal and conceding one goal to lose the match then winning their last home game so an over 2.5 is best to tip here.
In 2018, new guidance from the Sports Ground Safety Authority, the body in charge of ground safety, allowed the use of rail seats. Managing director Richard Arnold said: "Our belief is that the introduction of barrier seats will enhance spectator safety in areas of the stadium where - as with other clubs - we have seen examples of persistent standing. It also allows us to future-proof the stadium in the event of any changes to the current all-seater stadium policy.

This seem to be too big price on the win of the home team, since Dynamo is holding Belarus title and are back with good performance in the Cup, against Shaktyor here. They have won, with the secure performance, against one of the top rivals in the country, and scored two goals for the well situation in front of the second game.
Millwall's recent rise has been down to several factors; they've tightened up at the back and have generally got to grips with life under Gary Rowett. Perhaps the biggest factor is that they've regained their solidity at home, losing just one of their last nine at The Den. During that time, Millwall have only kept one clean sheet but they've scored two or more in seven out of nine, which is pleasing, especially since they've only conceded more than once on three occasions.
More details from UEFA soon," said a statement on the club's Twitter account on Wednesday. Earlier, Getafe Getafe president Angel Torres told reporters his club refused to travel to Italy for their game at Inter, even if it meant they were kicked out of the competition.

Pohang Steelers will host Ulsan for this fixture of the league. I expect, this will be tense match for both sides. Of course, both teams have the motivation to get a positive result. Pohang is very average team in this league. However, Pohang is better at home. I expect, the hosts to provide a strong resistance. Also, we have Ulsan who's is more ambitious team for me. Ulsan are undefeated in this new campaign. However, this will not be an easy task for the visitors on the road. In any case, they will have to invest a great effort in this game. My pick - Pohang to win.
SubstitutionSubstitution, Tottenham Hotspur. Oliver Skipp replaces Moussa Sissoko. SubstitutionSubstitution, Tottenham Hotspur. Dele Alli replaces Son Heung-Min. Manchester City legend David Silva made his final Premier League appearance but Kevin de Bruyne stole the show as his side brushed aside already-relegated Norwich.

Food poverty in England is a pandemic that could span generations if we don't course correct now. Rashford stated that the government's Universal Credit benefit system "is simply not a short-term solution" to the issue of food poverty, because "I am fully aware that the majority of families applying are experiencing five-week delays".

It's a great result but we have to keep our focus here on in. It's not a season-changing result but it's an important one, especially in the context of our own situation. There is an awful long way to go. I think what it does, it quantifies the work the players have put in over the last few games. But I'm not naive enough to think that we are anywhere near concluding what we set out to do.
It was not long ago that you could say the same about Villa, who went on an identical run at the start of October, but they have lost their past three league games. Villa have not really recovered from losing so late on against Liverpool, and the past few weeks have been a bit of reality check for them. That is what life is like for a promoted team, with as many downs as ups, but I think Villa will be smiling again on Monday night.
A third-tier Serie C match between Piacenza and Sambenedettese was also postponed as were several dozen youth team and amateur matches in the Lombardy region. Italy is tackling the worst outbreak of coronavirus yet recorded in Europe, with two people dying in the north since Friday and nearly 60 infected.
Two rivals have made similar performances in the recent games, and they did lost 1:0 to their rivals. Prostejov will have bigger pressure, as they are not at the good shape, like in the first part of the season, and now are having only 9 points more than Vitkovice in the relegation place.
By the age of 18 - after a short stint working in a powder paint company - Smith was embarking on a 16-year playing career as a centre-back which would take him from Walsall, where he was captain at 19, to Port Vale via Hereford United, Leyton Orient and Sheffield Wednesday. During his playing days, he frequently nipped back to watch Villa when time allowed. Before he became a manager, you'd see him down the match occasionally," said Dave Woodhall, editor of the Aston Villa fanzine Heroes & Villains, who would give a lift home to Smith from reserve games when he was growing up.
On Christian Kabasele's red card: "The players feel it was harsh, based on the type of contact and the position of team-mates, so we will have to look at it. I've not seen it yet. The important thing was to try and keep calm, we had to make changes and I felt the players dealt with it exceptionally well.
Italy, Serie B, I want to give a forecast for the match Pordenone - Ascoli. The second and ninth lines of the standings are found. The hosts are on the second line and probably they need to gain a foothold because victory gives the opportunity to enter the series a. The last matches are kept in good shape, there is not a single loss in eight matches. Guests play rather poorly, three out of five losses, the total for five matches is 1 to 2. On average, the ratio for the hosts drops, since the probability of winning is great. Good luck

AC Milan face Juventus on Thursday at the San Siro in the second semi-final. Inter came from 2-0 down to beat rivals AC at the weekend and go top of the table but they could not find a late rally on this occasion. Ashley Young, Alexis Sanchez and Christian Eriksen were all absent from the starting line-up and Dries Mertens and Piotr Zielinski both went close for Napoli in the first half. Away fans from the Naples region were banned from this match - a consequence of an incident in December 2018, when an Inter fan died of his injuries after being knocked down by a van amid violence before a match between the sides.
Bayer Leverkusen have had a good run going to this game; playing at home and their dominance over Union Berlin in their past encounter will definitely lift them here. Leverkusen have been scoring but keeping few clean sheets in recent matches and we feel this could haunt them again here. They have scored at least two in their last five home matches but have conceded in three. On the flipside, Union Berlin have scored in each of their last 13 DFB Pokal matches away from home. We are backing this one to end 2-1 in favor of Leverkusen.
Pochettino, so we understand, wanted rid of them all over the summer, the better to reshape a new squad: young, hungry, and keen. All of which adds up to something very strange: José Mourinho the continuity option. Here to keep the squad together. Here to not spend a fortune and smash everything to pieces.
The Reds are 25 points clear as they seek a first league title for 30 years. It'll be fantastic when it happens but the fans are not going to be there," McManaman said on BBC Radio 5 Live. Further down the line, the fans will be allowed in, they can celebrate properly then and have a parade round the city. But you saw the reaction of the fans when Liverpool brought home the Champions League. If they win the league after 30 years, they will celebrate, but it won't be the same as being at the ground and celebrating with the team.
Deportivo Aves U23 will host Rio Ave U23 for this fixture of the league. Both sides are very average teams in this league. However, Rio Ave U23 are more ambitious team in this campaign. I believe, the visitors have a more offensive team. They have an effective attack. In any case, I expect, the visitors wil ltend to score a goal. Also, we have Deportivo Aves U23 who's is really better team at home. Hosts have a great results on the home field. They have five consecutive victories. Of course, the hosts will try to continue with the winning results. I think, this will not be an easy task. I expect, the visitors will try to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium.
There was one moment when there was a case for an assault on Van Dijk as both Norwich players seemed to wrestle the Liverpool defender to the ground. What I am not entirely sure about is whether the referee was deliberately refusing to acknowledge what had taken place in the penalty area, which is the ref's prerogative, or he simply didn't see it, in which case VAR gets involved? If not, what's the point of it? Did you know? Virgil van Dijk played more successful passes than any other player in Norwich v Liverpool (77), while the Dutchman also won all three of his aerial duels.
Colchester United will be pretty pleased with the way their season has been going of late as they come into this weekend’s clash with Salford on the back of two wins and two draws in their last four league matches. Despite being known mainlyfor their defensive strength, they have been in a pretty rich vein of scoring form and have found the back of the net seven times in their last three league matches.
Midfielder Josh Knight is the only other player to find the net more than once for Posh this season. We've got a great partnership, us three - every game we know we're going to score, and that confidence is a good thing to have," club-record signing Eisa told BBC Sport. The manager [Darren Ferguson] puts so much pressure on us. Because we've got the three of us I think we'll continue this throughout the whole season.
